we have a similar circumstance at a hospital in virginia. has taken me three or four times to understand it, but within the additions on the food stamp program, where a lot of the dollars look like they are not obligated, it takes awhile for inflation to get back to where it was. perhaps we can get a better explanation than from me on this item, but a lot of the out years spending is mandatory, based on what we did on food stamps. you'd have to dramatically cut back food stamp spending right now, based upon inflation numbers that economists expect inflation to get up to 19. not a good explanation, but we can get somebody better on that. a lot of the dollars were kept driving down was the number that was actually going to be available. it was somewhere around the $30 billion category. a lot of that falls within the energy loan guarantee program, where a lot of the dollars have not been allocated out yet. there's an argument there that you could sweep some of those, but you could hopefully recruit, and i think there is a legitimate policy ther

mining has a long and proud history in west virginia. for many communities, it is not just a way to make a living. it is a way of life. the jobs they do in these mines help bring heat and electricity to millions of americans. it is a profession that is not without risks endangers. the workers and their families know that. but their government and their employers know that they owe it to these families to do everything possible to ensure their safety when they go to work each day. when i was in the senate, i supported the efforts of senators byrd and rockefeller to improve mine safety, but it is clear more needs to be done. i have asked my secretary of labor as well as the head of the mine safety administration to give me a preliminary report next week on what went wrong, if it went wrong, so we can take the steps to prevent such accidents in the future. because mining is a tradition that is often passed down to a generation, it is not uncommon to see an entire family choose this line of work. when a tragedy like this occurs, it is not un

host: virginia beach. dan, republican. caller: hi, sir. i'm not certain that we really know the number of people that we are calling illegal. did they start out that way? did they come here with work permits and overstay a visa. so i would ask your guest to provide us with some clarity on that. guest: the best estimate -- and these are all estimate -- we typically use the number 12 million. now, i have to tell you 12 million was a number that we used three years ago. but this moves every year because of the work situation, the availability of jobs. it probably has stayed about 12 million. of those 12 million, three million are children who were born here. so they will never understand that somehow their parents have to be deported or they are not u.s. citizens or they are any less americans than any others. they probably don't speak spanish. so, it is tremendously complex. once you get into family by family you find that the disruption is quite remarkable. some people use 20 million. i don't think it is that high so i would stick with 12.
